West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL (1888PressRelease)
November 16, 2008 - One part David Fite and one part Wade Shavell equals Fite, Shavell & Associates—one monster of a new firm. During the past decade mammoth New York brokerages gobbled up Palm Beach firms. They made big money but added layers of bureaucracy, didn’t utilize local expertise and delivered few new clients.
Fite, too, is a New Yorker – a former CFO at Douglas Elliman and Corcoran—but through the grapevine , he heard many Palm Beach agents were unhappy with the new corporate atmosphere. They wanted their independence.
Eureka! With his expertise and the best technology, Fite knew he could do that and build a winner. Bidding farewell to New York, he set up shop in the old Corcoran building at 101 North County Road. For management, he didn’t even have to leave the building: his landlord, Wade Shavell, is a proven winner in Connecticut and Palm Beach real estate.
“Agents and clients like and respect Wade,” Fite said. “He’s a great mentor to agents and a master at matching buyers and sellers!
“Before Wade joined the firm, we had signed up more than 30 premier agents from the top local firms. With Wade I expect we’ll double that! We will position Palm Beach as an international destination for the discerning buyer. We will be THE connection to Palm Beach.”
